One board, Centre de services scolaire des Monts-et-Marées, runs them all. The ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school, which leaves towns in Quebec without a schools grade.

How children get a place in Amqui
English schools in Quebec
Bill 101 limits English public schools to eligible children, mostly those with a parent schooled in English in Canada.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Amqui and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
